No religious roots at all that I can see. There's not a single reference to God in the whole course (which I appreciate immensely). But it's been around since the 1940s, when traditional families were not only the norm, but probably the only model (excepting of course the single mom left behind when the man died in the war). I just feel like it would be nice if they updated their terminology a little.
Bradley method basically is "second nature". No funny breathing, no drugs, just lots of massage and encouraging words from your partner, listen to your body and push when it tells you to, and otherwise try to relax and go with it. The course seems pretty useless to me actually, assuming you and your partner already work well together and know how to relax and calm each other.
